Patch to PG export font styles “bold” and “italic” to SVG. (This only works when a file with the right style is loaded into QCAD, as QCAD will yank such style information upon saving.)

qcad-trial-bin requires gcc-4.4.4, but I have gcc-4.4.5, so QCAD fails to start.

QCAD should require major GCC versions (gcc-4.4.x), and not revisions.

Support output of results in fractions for imperial units.

Unable to use space bar to focus on command line to type in commands etc as in Version 2. Need to click in the command line first in order to do so - much easier to use press space bar!

I noticed like this:

in a block pasted from the library, text would be under differently coloured lines, although it should be above them, and this does not look nice.

Drawing order inside of a block should not be changed by a paste operation, not?

Starting QCAD opens new empty drawing (Untitled 1).

After I open existing drawing, “Untitled 1” tab title changes to the name of newly opened drawing.

command preferences (application preferences) work one time if close, then need to close and open qcad for new preferences.

It might be an oversight from my side, but when I do Edit Block from reference, I don’t see how I can go back to the original drawing.

In previous versions I was able to add a diametric dimension to an arc or circle that is part of a block in the overal drawing.
When I try this now, the pogram resonds “Entity is not an arc or circle” the radius dimension gives the same error.
This is unfortunate, because typically dimensions are on another layer in the overal drawing.

Space bar does not change to keyboard input for coordinates, etc.

Both SvgExporters ignore the exportPoints setting. Attached patch takes care of that. To be applied from within the “scripts” directory.

Nitpicking in File/SvgExport/SvgExport.js, var properties is meant to be a plain Object instead of an Array, isn’t it?

Angle dimension shows always arrows instead of architectural ticks.

Library browser not in View - Toolbars menu

Hi,

When I try opening a file with blank caracters in directory name, Beta 3 reports a bug (see pictures attached). Error occurs only if I click on file icon. But no error occurs if I open directly in QCAD.

Regards,

DWG files created with QCAD display really fine now in autocad. There are only two minor issues for ACAD users:

1) ACAD complains, that they were not created with a licensed application. One may not be able to work around that one...

2) ACAD complains, that the file does not specify a codepage. For this one, there should be a way around, shouldn’t it?

I am very happy with the compatibility in the new QCAD. Thank you very much for all the efforts that went into it!

I have a drawing imported from 2.2. I have tried to edit a block and the block window duly opens. However I can’t get back to my main drawing window. In the earlier version I could select a main drawing window. The window menu did not offer any other window to select. The window shown in the list was the name of the main file and clicking on it did nothing. The Tile and Cascade options worked but showed no other windows.

Allow users to enter numeric values as fractions in the format ‘number numerator/denominator’, for example ‘7 3/4’.

Values might also be represented that way in the property editor and in other places of the user interface if desired by the user.

Split up library browser as separate, QCAD independent tool.

TODO

DONE

Motivation

Interface with QCAD 3

QCAD launches library browser for example as:
./QCAD -autostart scripts/Tools/LibraryBrowser/LibraryBrowser.js

No way to toggle the grid view on or off?

Provide option to hide scroll bars.

Disable grid snap for auto snapping or otherwise configurable auto snap.

Show / hide block references from block list (eye-icon)

Slower selection / manipulation compared to QCAD 2.

Trial version: dockable with static web page (links, special offers, ...)

Files given on command line don’t open if paths are relative (CWD problem)

Tool ‘Show only active layer’ not in layer toolbar.

Autosave 10min saves every 1min

See:
http://www.ribbonsoft.com/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=1604

Dimension: no feet displayed in architectural format

(e.g. 79 19/32 instead 72 7 19/32)

See:
http://www.ribbonsoft.com/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=1605

Dimension preferences: precision not saved between preference dialog sessions.

See:
http://www.ribbonsoft.com/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=1605

Snap defaults to auto. Auto snap gets slow in areas where there are many places it can snap to.

Select → Contour (T, C) and click into empty space, will cause an exception, REntityPointer being a null pointer (0×0) and not false, undefined or something like that.

Various issues for grid info, property editor, dimensions, etc.

When many tabs are open, the name of contained drawing is not fully shown. One way that some mdi applications do, is to append the name of the active tab to the top window title, which is also useful in other ways. At least a tool tip with the full name of the file on the tab top was nice.

One can draw in print preview. If one does, QCAD starts acting confused, the model view gets restored with a fullbright white background.

Maybe best is to just disable all drawing and measuring in print preview?

It was nice to specify the default Format for saving files. 2010 is too young for distribution to unknown users, better use 2004 or so...

Bug or Performance Issue? I’m not sure but it regularly trips me up and is counter intuitive.

In the right hand window generally if you scroll in the pane the list of items moves up and down as expected. E.g. Layer List and Block List.

However in Property Editor there are drop down list boxes and scrolling in the Property Editor pane dangerously scrolls elements within any drop down list that the mouse pointer happens to alight upon. This can lead to inadvertently changing properties.

I propose that a drop down list should not scroll until the list is opened. Scrolling in the Property Editor pane should scroll the Property Editor contents.

Snap to ellipse / ellipse intersections

Trim ellipses

Break out segments of ellipses

Autosnap does not recognize the center of a circle as a reference point.

Perpendicular (orthogonal to entity) snap onto closest entity.

Hide layer / block should deselect entities on it

TODO:

• Ask user to enter block attribute values when inserting block
• If attribute definition changes (tag changes), update attributes accordingly (note that other CAD systems don’t do this)
• Support for multiline attributes
• Control order of attributes (as shown to user in property editor, when inserting blocks)

DONE:

• Defining new block attribute definitions (constructing block attribute definition entities)
• Editing block attribute definitions (property editor)
• Synchronize attributes based on attribute definitions (position, angle, size, ...)
• Loading block attribute definitions from DXF / DWG
• Saving block attribute definitions to DXF / DWG
• Loading block attributes from DXF / DWG
• Saving block attributes to DXF / DWG
